Program Note

Victor is out buying a pipe cleaning fluid when he is hit by an egg and loses his memory. Inside his dirty coat, there is only a scrap of paper with the word “pipe cleaning fluid” written on it, which is the same word as “mole” in Russian. The strange and absurd events in which people treat him like a real mole cause Victor to question his own identity. His crazy and unpredictable journey makes us realize that the concepts we take for granted are in fact relative and capricious. The world may call him a mole, but he insists that he is a genius and a brilliant person. The film leads us to deeply ponder how we perceive ourselves between the identity imposed by society and the one we choose for ourselves. SEO Saerom
